After the success of last year’s NVSB Listening Party the Bassnectar crew decided we wanted to go bigger and better than before. On the eve of Into The Sun’s release we encouraged the Bass Head community to press play at exactly 7 pm PST and blast Mixtape 13. Lorin joined in on the fun and live tweeted his thoughts, shout outs, and explanations of the new album. The Into The Sun Listening Party was even better than the last due to the amount of community involvement and interaction. We encouraged Bass Heads to host their own listening parties across the nation – inviting friends, family, strangers on a bus, etc.! Those who hosted parties with the largest sound systems, attendance, or creativity won prizes ranging from Into The Sun bundles to tickets to any show of their choosing. In classic Bass Head fashion, some of our community members went above and beyond with their listening parties! One Bass Head organized a Listening Party at a venue in Asheville, NC – including a customized drink menu and a massive projection of the Bassnectar Twitter feed! Another group of Bass Heads threw a Listening Party at Beauty Bar in NYC. Our good

Greetings Bass Heads! Between the constructive chaos taking place last weekend at Electric Forest, and the recent release of Bassnectar’s new album, Into The Sun, our crew has finally caught some Z’s and had an opportunity to reflect on this past weekend. From June 25th-June 29th the Bass Network crew blended in with the rest of the community and explored the grounds of Electric Forest – observing and encouraging community building and interaction. After four days of fun and frolicking in the unfathomable Forest, we wanted to recap on some highlights! Bass Camp Our original idea was to have one massive camp filled with enthusiastic Bass Heads from across the country – swapping stories and sharing ideas about life and love. We had about thirty cars gather in a parking lot before rolling deep into the festival around 3:30AM early Thursday morning. Unfortunately, throughout the chaotic entrance lines, the massive caravan got split up. This resulted in several, smaller ‘Bass Camps’, which was almost even more intimate and exciting! We witnessed new, old, and young (our neighbors were all under 10 years-old and loved Nectar!!) Bass Heads all come together and get to know each other like one happy family!
